HENRY GARIVS, OF DAVID, NEW MEXICO.

ROTARY MOTOR.

Application inea April 14, 11915.

To all whom it may concern l Be it known that I, HENRY Garnis, a citizen of the United States, residing at David, in the county of Union and State of'New Mexico, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Rotary Motors; and 1 do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to malte and use the same.

This invention relates to motors, and more particularly to rotary motors designed to be operated by steam, water or other fluid under pressure.

The invention has for its primary object to provide a motor including a casing and a plurality of rotors rotatably mounted therein and having intermeshing blades or sheaths constituting abutments adapted to receive the impact of the fluid whereby the rotors are actuated.

lVith these and other objects in view, the invention consists in the novel construction, arrangement and formation of parts as will be hereinafter specifically described, claimed and illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which: i

Figure 1 represents a side elevation of the motor, partly in section. Fig. 2 represents a longitudinal sectional view through the motor in the plane of the axes of one row of rotors.

Referring to the drawing in detail, wherein similar reference numerals designate corresponding parts throughout the several views, the numeral 5 indicates the casing of the motor as an entirety and which includes a core 6 and a pair of side plates 7 removably secured thereto. The core G is provided with outwardly directed and spaced flanges 6ZL rigidly secured between the marginal portions of the side plates 7. The core is also formed with a plurality of substantially circular communicating chambers 8, preferably of circular formation and arranged in rows, the chambers of each row being alined longitudinally of the casing. The side plates 7 constitute closures for the chambers and a plurality of rotors 9 are arranged within the chambers. The rotors 9 are rotatably supported upon shafts 10 journaled in the side walls 7 and are formed with peripheral blades or teeth 11, the blades or teeth of each rotor being meshed with the teeth or blades of the adjacent rotors.

Specification of Letters` Patent.

Patented Sept. 12, 1916.

Serial No. 21,327.

The rotor shafts 10 may, if desired, be

extended exteriorly of the side walls of the casing to accommodate a belt or other preferred type of transmission device. i A fluid inlet port 12 is formed centrally in the upper portion of the core 6 and is connected with al feed pipe 13 in which is arranged a controlling valve 14, and an exhaust port 15 is formed centrally within the lower portion of the core and is connected with an exhaust pipe 1G in which is arranged a valve 17. The side walls of the several chambers 8 are formed with recesses or cavities defining a circuitous fluid passage 19.

As illustrated in Fig. 1 the fluid inlet port 12 is arranged between the two intermediate chambers 8 of the upper row and thus the steam or other fluid entering through the. inlet port is directed between the meshed teeth or blades of the intermediate rotors of the upper row. As also illustrated in Fig. 1, the lowerl portions of the side walls of the two intermediate chambers 8 of the upper' row are recessed, and thus: the steam or other fluid passing between the teeth of the rotors arranged in these chambers is divided and conducted by the two circuitous fluid passages through the casing, the pressure of the steam or other fluid against the blades or teeth of the rotors effecting rotational movement of the latter. The steam or other fluid after passing over and between the several rotors is finally exhausted through the exhaust port 15 and pipe 16.

lVhat I claim is:

A rotary motor comprising a core having a plurality of longitudinal rows of intercommunicating circular chambers and oppositely disposed inlet and outlet ports in the sides thereof communicating centrally with two of the end rows of circular chambers, spaced outwardly directed flanges carried by said core, side plates arranged on opposite sides of said core and secured to said flanges, and a. plurality of rotors mounted in said chambers and including intermeshing teeth or blades.

1n testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
